Esplanade at Artisan Lakes

What Is Esplanade at Artisan Lakes?

Esplanade at Artisan Lakes is Taylor Morrison’s age-targeted active adult community in Palmetto, Manatee County — 800 homes at completion, with new construction still active. Palmetto is positioned at the intersection of I-75 and I-275, making it one of the most highway-accessible addresses in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. Tampa is 35 minutes north. Sarasota is 30 minutes south. St. Petersburg is 30 minutes west via the Sunshine Skyway Bridge area.

Esplanade is Taylor Morrison’s active adult brand — consistent across multiple Florida communities: Esplanade on Palmer Ranch (Sarasota), Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch, Esplanade at Azario Lakewood Ranch, and Esplanade at The Heights (Bradenton). The brand delivers resort-style amenities with Italian-inspired design: a full-service Bahama bar at the pool, spa treatment rooms, culinary kitchen, and what Taylor Morrison calls the “Esplanade lifestyle.”

Esplanade Brand Consistency

All five Esplanade communities in the Sarasota area use the same design language: Italian-influenced architecture, Bahama bar at the pool, a full spa with treatment rooms, and a culinary kitchen for cooking events. The brand is more premium than standard active adult — amenities are genuinely higher quality than the builder-standard formula.
